Chapter 100 Puzzle

Lao Fang stroked his beard and thought about it carefully and said, "No, that's all."

"Oh, okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Fang." Xie Yuan smiled at Lao Fang, picked up the wick of the oil lamp, and the light became brighter, and said:

"Go back and rest quickly. We have to get up early to practice tomorrow."

"Hey...yes, it's getting dark. Then I'm leaving." Lao Fang got up from the ground and just walked to the door when he suddenly thought of something and turned around and said:

"Then who are you writing a love letter to?...I'm telling you, you have never seen the world. There are many good women in the world, but you can't just fall in love with those who are shady. Look back to your family.

I will definitely refuse!"

Xie Yuan looked up at him, his childish face showing helplessness and confusion...Why didn't he believe it when he said it was a letter from home?

It turns out that Lao Fang is really worried about which woman she likes, and she seems to think it is a big deal.

So he finally said: "...Uncle Fang, don't worry, my family has been engaged to me since I was a child. I don't like others, but I like him!"

When Lao Fang heard this, he smiled and said: "Isn't this right? The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are the only ones that are reliable. You are a good baby, but you can't let those unscrupulous people lead you."

broken."

After saying that, he opened the tent and went out.

Xie Yuan could hear her mother's worried feeling from his words, and immediately looked at the closed curtain, feeling a little dazed.

Then she lowered her head and gave away her hand. Looking at the letter she had clenched into pieces, she suddenly felt sad. Tears wanted to fall down.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Yes, she can write a letter to Shen Liuzhen! Let Shen Liuzhen report that she is safe. Firstly, he supports his dream of becoming a general. Secondly, he is currently working as a chaperone for the eldest son of the crown prince in the north, so he will definitely not be able to send the letter along the way.

Find the path.

This is simply killing two birds with one stone!

When Xie Yuan thought of this, a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He picked up his pen and wrote Shen Liuzhen's name at the beginning of the page...

Then I paused again when I saw his name.

That's not right... She is in the military camp of the Southern Dynasty now, and Shen Liuzhen is in the East Palace of the Northern Dynasty. According to the camp, the two of them are enemies... If she writes a letter, it will be sent directly from the military camp of the Southern Dynasty to the Northern Dynasty.

It is obviously not appropriate to go to the East Palace. This will not only cause trouble for him, but also cause trouble for myself.

When Xie Yuan thought of this, he held his forehead with a headache... He looked at the words Shen Liuzhen and began to think hard.

No, you have to find another way to deliver the message, go to the city to find a private escort agency, you can't go through the military camp.

Moreover, the content of the letter should not reveal any personal information, lest others discover it later and then seize the opportunity to accuse them of collaborating with the enemy...

She also had to make it clear that it was her, and asked Shen Liuzhen to ensure that his family was safe for him?

Hmm... Actually, there is no need to ask him about this matter. If he receives news from him, he will definitely tell his family.

But... Xie Yuan was scratching his head anxiously. How should he write this letter to meet these two requirements?

It is already very difficult to write an article, but now she has to answer riddles in the article? This is really not something she is good at...

Xie Yuan began to recall all the details of his time with Shen Liuzhen, thinking about what riddles he could solve so that he could understand...

Suddenly, Xie Yuan remembered a scene:

…

Under the grape trellis in the garden of Xie Mansion, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen were lying on a bench together, communicating with each other and admiring each other's paintings.

Shen Liuzhen knelt down next to the bench, while Xie Yuan was bent over, leaning on the bench with his elbows.

In front of them, a stack of nondescript ink paintings was spread out.

Shen Liuzhen pointed to one of his paintings and asked, "Can you tell who this is?"

"I know, Uncle Liu from the small vegetable garden in the west." Xie Yuan lowered his eyes and pointed at the beard of the person on the paper and said, "Uncle Liu's beard is sparse. Didn't you draw three of them with thin lines?"

"Yes! We have a good understanding of each other. You are indeed my good brother." Shen Liuzhen said proudly.

…

Xie Yuan, who was holding the pen with his eyes shining brightly, changed a piece of paper, with a smile on his face, and began to draw by the light of the oil lamp.

…

…

Today, the crown prince Shi Yuzhen has free time and comes to see his son. Shen Liuzhen, the reading companion, also has free time and does not have to study with Ulei's side.

So he took the opportunity and went outside the palace to find the courtyard rented by the Xie family for him. After stealing a while of leisure, he took some exquisite pastries prepared by the cook and returned to the palace.

First, he went to find Zong Ai, the constant servant next to the emperor, and gave him a copy. After chatting for a few more words and talking about common things that could bring us closer, he returned to the East Palace and stood in front of the emperor with a food box. In the corridor that the prince must pass when he leaves.

I plan to express my feelings to the prince. He probably won't eat it, but I still have to give it to him.

Shen Liuzhen stood next to the pillar, standing upright, but his feet were actually a little tired from standing for a long time, so he leaned against the pillar calmly and just waited.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of dense footsteps, and quickly stood up straight away from the pillar, looking towards the end of the corridor.

Crown Prince Shi Yuzhen walked in front, with a tall figure and a handsome face. He was dressed in the white robe of a Confucian scholar. He came slowly with a group of people in a dignified manner.

Every time Shen Liuzhen saw the Crown Prince Shi Yuzhen, he would feel an inexplicable feeling of kindness and affection. This was a feeling he never had from other Hu people, and it was rare even among Han people.

A smile appeared on Shen Liuzhen's face involuntarily, and he kept thinking about why he had such a favorable impression.

Is it because of his name? Or because of his appearance? Or because of his temperament?

Maybe there are all of them. Shen Liuzhen couldn't help but think: Maybe there are people like this in the world, who are born to win the favor of others.

Shi Yuzhen walked over with a kind smile like his big brother's face. When he walked to Shen Liuzhen's side, he stopped in his tracks.

"The common people have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shen Liuzhen quickly placed the food box at the corner of the railing, turned around and saluted the Crown Prince.

"Excuse me, why are you here?" Shi Yuzhen asked in a gentle voice.

"Back to Your Highness the Crown Prince, the common people have just returned from the palace. The Xie family sent a cook over and made some exquisite snacks. I think they are delicious and want to share them with Your Highness and the royal grandson."

Shi Yutian smiled and said: "You have your heart, but there are rules in the palace. It's a pity that I can't eat at will. You can eat with Ulei later."

"Yes..." This was what was expected, and Shen Liuzhen bowed respectfully and responded.

"Are you still used to living here?" he asked.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. Everything is well with the common people. The emperor's grandson is very kind to the common people. How can there be anything unaccustomed to it?" Shen Liuzhen said with a smile, revealing two sweet dimples.

Shi Yuzhen and Ulei who followed him to see him off all laughed. Then Shi Yuzhen nodded and walked away.

Shen Liuzhen watched them leave, and then saw Liu Qinbing coming over from the other side with a letter in his hand.
